There's a discounted MSI X299 board for $224.00, after $63 "promo code" coupon and $30 MIR:
MSI X299 GAMING PRO CARBON AC LGA 2066 Intel X299 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard

I was able to purchase an Aquantia 5 Gb NIC for ~$60 last November; the ~$70 10 Gb version was sold out at the time.

Current price for the 10 Gb Aquantia card shows as $147.76, with a minimum quantity of 20:

The Aquantia 5 Gb NIC is recognized in macOS 10.13.2 and later, but does not actually function, as of yet.
Haven't tried with a fresh install of 10.13.3, to see whether the same work-around for the Aquantia 10 Gb NIC also works with the
Aquantia 5 Gb NIC.
